Definitions
- the present invention relates to a storage system for planar products.
- Floor-standing racks are often used for storing planar materials, which are usually inclined, and which require personnel to manually move the uppermost planar products to access the underlying planar products.
- materials When the materials are removed from the storage racks, they usually have to be handled manually and loaded onto some means of transport, such as a wheeled trolley or a fork-lift truck.
- planar materials may be extremely heavy, have sharp edges or corners, and be difficult or even impossible to grip effectively because of the bulk involved. Handling such materials can present a serious safety hazard for personnel.
- an aim of the invention is to provide a storage system for planar products such as panes of glass or similar materials, which enables the products to be stored in such a manner that they do not become damaged or broken.
- an object of the invention is to provide a storage system for planar products which minimizes the manual handling of the planar products at the storage place and increases safety for personnel.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a storage system for planar products which minimizes the manual handling of the planar products and which permits optimization of the organization and inventory of the stored materials.
- the present invention provides a storage system with movable supporting carriages that carry inclined frames adapted to support planar products, such as panes of glass or of other materials, but also frames for objects having a different shape, whose innovative characteristic is that the carriages supporting the frames move at right angles with respect to the bases on which they slide and also longitudinally, on parallel transverse tracks that are arranged at the ends of said bases, in order to remove or insert, in one or more preset points, the items to be stored.
- Parking positions are provided for this purpose both on the parallel tracks and on extensions of said bases.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the storage system with carriages according to the invention
- FIG. 2 is a side view of one the of the carriages with inclined frame
- FIG. 3 is a sectional front view of the frame and the carriage
- FIG. 4 is a sectional front view showing a frame and a unit for manual movement of the carriages
- FIG. 5 is a partial front view of a unit for the automatic movement of the carriages
- FIG. 6 is a partial top view of the unit of FIG. 5;
- FIG. 7 is a lateral elevation view of a different embodiment of the device for the movement of the carriages, with a coupling arranged below the carriages;
- FIG. 8 is a top plan view of another embodiment of the movement of the carriages, with lateral coupling thereof;
- FIG. 9 is a partially sectional side view of a device for moving the carriage, in an engagement position
- FIG. 10 is a view of the device of FIG. 9, shown in an engagement-ending position
- FIG. 11 is a top plan view of the device of FIG. 10 in engagement position
- FIG. 12 is a side view of another embodiment of a unit for longitudinal transfer of the carriages
- FIG. 13 is a sectional view of the unit of FIG. 12, and;
- FIG. 14 is a top plan view of the unit for longitudinal transfer of the carriages.
- the storage system is formed by at least two base members 1 and 2 each provided with overlying rails 3 .
- Carriages 4 , supporting frames 5 which are advantageously inclined, slide longitudinally in both directions along the rails 3 .
- the base members are mutually connected, at their opposite ends, by two parallel transverse tracks 6 , 6 ′ that support transfer units 7 .
- the carriages 4 that support the frames 5 which have been transferred onto said transfer units, can be transferred from one base member to the other.
- One or more parking stations 8 and 9 are used to carry out removal or deposition, by the user, of the material to be stored, nonetheless allowing at the same time the transfer of the carriages from one base member to the other along the transverse tracks.
- the movement and transfer of the individual carriages can be actuated by pushing by hand, or by means of a handwheel-operated kinematic trasmission means, or also by means of appropriate motorized units.
- handwheels 10 and 10 ′ are mounted both on the carriages 4 and on the transfer units 7 , which can move along the tracks 6 and 6 ′, to move the carriages from one base member to the next.
- FIGS. 2 and 3 more clearly illustrate the details related to the means for the advancement of the carriages 4 , which support the inclined frames 5 ; said means comprise for example racks 11 on which pinions 12 mesh; said pinions are mounted on a shaft 13 , which is turned for example by means of the handwheel 10 .
- Flanged wheels 15 and 16 that can run along the guiding rails 17 and are part of the carriages 4 allow the movement of the carriages 4 .
- Track retainer rollers 56 are also provided to cooperate with the rails to stabilize the movements of the transfer units.
- the pairs of flanged wheels 15 and 16 on the sides of the guiding rails 17 offer greater stability for the movement of the carriages 4 .
- Beams 18 stiffen the carriages 4 , allowing them to carry very heavy materials that are deposited thereon and rested on the frames 5 .
- the carriage 4 which supports the frame 5 , is provided with pinions 19 that can move on the racks 20 and are turned by the coupling 21 , which is actuated by a mechanism 22 .
- the mechanism 22 is in turn actuated by an electric motor 23 ; the entire assembly is mounted on the slider 24 , which is movable along the shafts 25 , which are in turn mounted on the plate 26 , provided with guiding rollers 27 in a downward region; said rollers run on the rails 28 that are located on the sides of the profiled element 29 that is rigidly coupled to the base plate 30 .
- a pin 65 mounted on the handling unit 32 is rigidly coupled to the mechanism 22 and has a conical tip cavity 31 that interacts with a point 31 ′, which is rigidly coupled to the frame 5 . Engagement of the point 31 ′ in the cavity 31 provides precise coupling between the handling unit 32 and the frame 5 , thus providing the exact mating of the coupling 21 .
- the carriage 4 that supports the frame 5 is provided with pinions 19 that can move on the racks 20 and are turned by the coupling 21 , actuated by the mechanism 22 , which is driven by the electric motor 23 ; the entire assembly is mounted on the slider 24 , which can move along the shafts 25 .
- the shafts 25 are rigidly coupled to the plate 26 , provided with guiding rollers 27 that slide on the rails 28 , which are located on the sides of the profiled element 29 .
- An appropriate motorized unit 33 allows the transfer of the system, which is guided longitudinally by the rails 28 .
- a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder 34 actuated by the electromechanical or electronic device, such as for example a photoelectric cell 35 - 35 ′, moves the movable mechanism 22 so as to provide the perfect mating of the coupling 21 .
- FIG. 7 illustrates a multiple transfer device for the carriages 4 that support the inclined frames 5 , with a shaft 36 that is mounted below the carriages and with engagement elements 37 that are turned by the actuation unit 38 through 90°, in order to release or engage the carriages.
- the shaft 36 which is rigidly coupled to the disk 36 ′, is moved by the coupling 39 , which is rigidly coupled to a threaded shaft 40 that is turned by a motorized unit 41 , which thus moves the shaft 36 together with the carriages 4 that are engaged therewith.
- the shaft 42 driven by the threaded shaft 43 , actuated by the unit 44 , is arranged on the side of the carriages 4 .
- FIGS. 9 and 11 are views of another system for the engagement and translatory motion of the carriages 4 , which support the inclined frames 5 ; said system comprises a particular slotted lever 45 , inside which the hub with spherical head 46 slides; said hub moves when the lever is turned by the motorized actuation unit 48 , after engaging the traction unit 47 that supports the carriage 4 .
- the lever 45 by rotating through 180°, provides the stroke, in the direction of the arrows 49 - 49 ′, of the hub with spherical head 46 and thus the preset movement of the carriage.
- the pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder 50 returns the hub with spherical head 46 to its initial position, after the lever 45 has also been positioned in the starting position, turning through a further 180°, so as to engage the next carriage.
- FIGS. 12, 13 , and 14 relate to a longitudinal shifting unit for the carriages 4 , which support the inclined frames 5 and are mounted on a structure 51 that supports the rails 52 and is provided with racks 53 in an upward region.
- Wheels 54 and tracking retainers 56 and 56 ′ allow the movement of the shifting unit on the structure 57 , which forms the tracks 6 - 6 ′ shown in FIG. 1 .
